Definitions:

Degrees Of Freedom

Degrees of freedom in statistics refer to the number of values in the calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.

Significance Level

A threshold set by the researcher to determine the point at which the results of a statistical test can be considered to demonstrate a meaningful effect, typically denoted by alpha (α).

Effect Size

A measure of the magnitude of difference between two groups, usually calculated as Cohen’s d.

Significant Difference

A difference between groups or conditions that is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone, according to a predefined threshold of statistical significance.
